Welcome to Shilton
Shilton is an English civil parish within the district of West Oxfordshire and the county of Oxfordshire
Shilton is sited on the banks of the Shill Brook that feeds into the River Thames. It remains unspoiled as a farming village and has been awarded Conservation Area Status for its location and appearance. It has retained its meadows that sweep down to the heart of the village.
Shilton was a Saxon tun , a village on a ledge or bank, belonging, before the Norman Conquest, to the Godwin family. Through Harold Godwinson, killed at Hastings in 1066, it passed to the crown under William the Conqueror. As a crown property Shilton was not included in the Domesday Book.
Roman Akeman Street runs through the west of the Parish of Shilton – however, other than a few coins, there has been no further evidence of a Roman settlement.
